Enjoy!
1. #13 Kansas @ #19 South Florida (Little XII vs Big Least) Friday Night!!!
It is Battle of the QB this weekend. Todd Reesing and Matt Grothe (this guy has been around FOREVER) will lead two very capable teams into battle. The Big Least is desperately looking for some kind of showing this year. Just ask West Virginia and their lofty ranking as they tanked @ East Carolina last week. Kansas on the other hand still has the stigma of still needing to prove itself. In the end Kansas is just too efficient and wins a great, great game.
Kansas 31 South Florida 24
2. #2 Georgia @ South Carolina (SEC vs SEC)
Things are about to get ugly in Columbia. Steve Spurrier has now lost two years in a row to Vanderbilt and this week if his defense doesn't keep him in the game, his gamecocks are going to get their clocks cleaned. Yeah, they won in Athens last year, and trust me, Mark Richt and the Bulldogs remember that b/c it kept them out of the SEC-Championship game and cost them a shot at the BCS Championship. This will be payback and it could be U-G-L-Y. However, it is in Columbia and the Gamecock defense will come to play….for a while. UGA is just too much in the end.
Bulldogs 24 Gamecocks 10
3. Arkansas @ #8 Texas (SEC vs Little XII)
The winner here is Hurricane Ike! This game has been moved to September 27th. We will have an extra game that week to make up for this one.
4. UCLA @ #18 BYU (PAC-10 vs Mountain West)
BYU's luck is gone in my opinion. They lost it all against the PAC-10 when they were GIVEN the game in Spokane last week. This week, even though it is at home, UCLA and Slick Rick will end the Cougars winning streak and also show they could be contenders quicker than everyone thought. The Defensive front of the Bruins are just dominating (at least they were against Tennessee two weeks ago). If they are that dominating again, the Cougs are dead.
Bruins 31 Cougars 27
5. Michigan @ Notre Dame (Big 10(1) vs Independent)
Wow. Talk about two of the most inept football programs on the planet this year. Michigan lost at home to Utah before staging a comeback to beat Miami (OH) last week. Notre Dame opened the season by floundering around at home before coming back to beat lowly San Jose State. Yikes! I say, flip a coin and whomever crosses mid-field first, wins. Deal!?!? Good lord.
Wolverines 3 Irish 2
6. SMU @ #11 Texas Tech (Conference USA vs Little XII)
I am not sure if they have installed a new score board in Jones Stadium or not, but they may need to after this game. I expect Tech to score as many points as they want to. I expect SMU to score some, but not that many (maybe next year). This one won't need the possession clock and it might need that third digit on the score. Harrell may break some records in this game. At least he can if he wants.
Ponies 21 Raiders 70
7. #3 Oklahoma @ Washington (Little XII vs PAC-10)
The last time OU went to the West Coast it wasn't pretty as the refs decided that Oregon should win and simply blew an onside kick call. Think Bob Stoops remembers that one? Well, let me tell you that Ty Willingham hasn't forgotten last week's hose job by the officials in his team's one point loss AT HOME to BYU on just an atrocious penalty at the end of the game. OU though is by far the superior team here and if they can play well on the road, they will dominate the Huskies.
Sooners 42 Huskies 14
8. #10 Wisconsin @ #21 Fresno State (Big 10(1) vs WAC)
Here we have yet another "title contender" from the Big 10(1) who thinks they can make it to the BCS Championship game to get demolished by yet another SEC team. However, they have a little road block in the way in the form of one Fresno State Bulldog team. If there ever were a one-dimensional team it is the Badgers. The Bulldogs on the other hand are good at each of the skilled positions and this game will be one they can use to carve another notch in their belt on the way to a BCS Bowl bid. Fresno loads up the line of scrimmage and force Alan Evridge (exactly) to beat them. He won't.
Badgers 17 Bulldogs 21
9. Southern Mississippi @ Arkansas State (Conference USA vs Sun Belt)
Ok, so Arkansas State is 2 – 0 for the first time since some guy named Nixon was living at 1600 Pennsylvania. Don't look for it to make it to 3 – 0 though. Even though this game is in Jonesbuggy, it won't matter. The same O-fence that scored 83 last week against Texas Southern will be facing a Southern Miss team that is just flat out loaded on defense. They are also adjusting to the Fedora Spread on O-fence. The Golden Eagles will be too much and put a huge damper on the spirits of the "Indians".
Eagles 35 "Indians" 14

10. #5 Ohio State @ #1 USC (Big 10(1) vs PAC-10)
Ok, so the latest word out of the Buckeye camp is that Beanie Wells is now "probable". He is probably probable due to him finally watching game film of the USC Defensive Unit. Good lord I would be "probable" as well. Carroll has his best defense ever since he arrived in Southern Cali. Ohio State on the other hand, can't find its way without Wells. They had just horrendous issues with Beckman last week as the QB and that "other guy" only played one series (BIG mistake Tressell). You are going to need Pryor and if at all possible you can find away to get AJ Hawk, Tedd Ginn Jr., Maurice Clarett (he is probably in prison though), and any other Buckeye great you want to name over the past few years, eligible, you might have a shot. Since that ain't happening anytime soon. The Trojans will steam roll them some Buckeyes once again proving that Speed Kills in the Big 10(1). When is this pathetic conference ever going to learn?!?!?
Buckeyes 13 Trojans 38
